Event Description

Founding guitarist of the legendary band Queen, Brian May also holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics and has nurtured a lifetime passion for “stereoscopic” 3-D images.
Picture cards, given away in cereal boxes, first fascinated him as a child. A collaboration with photographic conservator Elena Vidal—and a product of more than 30 years’ research—Village Lost and Found is an annotated collection of the images of T.R. Williams, a Victorian-era photographer who captured everyday scenes of rural life in a small English village. May specially designed a 3-D image viewer to accompany the anthology.
